Howard Hughes should have been troubled lately, not only did his right-hand man defect, but he also starved of money for Trans World Airlines. At this time, the Hughes Group itself also had financial problems, and various problems followed.

Alex also learned something from the newspapers, as if all the banks were refusing to lend money, but were forcing Hughes to repay his debts, or else he would have to use his shares in Universal as collateral. In other words, Hughes is losing control of Universal.

"Pan Am must be behind it, otherwise Hughes wouldn't have been able to borrow money. After all, Universal has always been their enemy, and it is in their best interest for such a situation to arise. ”

TWA and Pan Am have a long-standing feud, and the two companies have been fighting to the death since the Roosevelt presidency. Pan Am has always wanted to monopolize the American aviation market, but President Roosevelt would not allow such a situation, and he specially supported Trans Mate Airlines to fight the monopoly.

During that time, Hughes had to deal not only with frontal attacks, but also with sneak attacks in the shadows. It is said that the root of his illness also fell at that time, and he has never been cured.

Alex is also very interested in the aviation market, and he once asked Angel to buy a large number of airline stocks, which can be regarded as a small fortune in the past few years. As for owning an airline, it depends on the opportunity.

Just then, the vehicle passed through a plaza where a large number of people gathered in a group.

A loud singing, like a rampaging truck, crashed directly into people's hearts, causing Alex to pull his mind away from the mess and back to reality.

"This song is so powerful, it can go straight to the depths of people's hearts."

The more Alex listened, the more surprised he became, and when he first listened, he thought it was a man singing, and after listening to it for a while, he realized that something was wrong.

Everyone can sing, but there are even fewer who can sing beautifully. Although the songs sung by this man are not beautiful, they can definitely move people's hearts. Her singing voice is harsh, but it definitely catches the attention of passers-by.

What is a singing, does it have to be tactful and beautiful to be able to sing? No, it shouldn't be like that. Alex believes that as long as he can express his inner emotions and pass them on to others, he is a successful singer.

Alex himself is developing in this area, he has a high level of skill, but when it comes to expressing emotions, he is not as good as Richard and Karen.

Unconsciously, he was attracted by the singing, and when he walked into the crowd surrounded by groups, he squeezed into it with all his might. I saw a man with messy hair and a girl with a disheveled head.

These are two scruffy-looking, unkempt men, not much different from the beggars who wander the streets. However, their music is like throwing boulders into people's hearts, leaving an indelible impression on people.

The girl was mediocre in appearance, with a large flat face and a large nose, and her eyes and eyebrows were surprisingly ugly. Coupled with her broom-like hair, it is even more unbearable. Her voice was hoarse, almost man's. But such a person can sing the anguish and sadness in her heart, make people empathize with her pain, and she uses all her strength to convey this heart-wrenching pain.

Finally, a song is over. Some left, some stayed, and some threw down coins.

At this time, Alex found a dog lying quietly at the girl's feet. Just now his attention was all on the singer, and he didn't see the dog.

This dog is the dog that ran to the end of the day to find something to eat, and such an ugly dog can be remembered at a glance. The dog and its mistress are very compatible, as some people say, there is a kind of dog with a certain owner.

"Hey! Hello, I'm the director of a record label! ”

Alex stood for a while, intending to get to know the singer. Of course, it's not to run to sign this girl, but to find out about the other party. Not everyone is suitable for singing, and Alex doesn't think this girl can.

At least get to know each other, he thought to himself.

Dugari was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted: "Ah, hello! Hello! My name is Dugarry and she's Jennis! ”

In fact, Jennis's throat was already on fire, she didn't want to speak, she said hoarsely: "Hello! ”

The Alex they saw was an image of a businessman from the outside, and it was more suitable for the position of a record company director. It's just that they also saw those bodyguards, and they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, a director can invite so many bodyguards, and this director can spend so much money.

"I was listening to your song just now, and I thought it was very good, and I wanted to talk to you. Why don't we find a place to sit? ”

For Alex's suggestion, Dugarry and Janis certainly have no problem. The only problem is the dog, they can't take the dog into a hotel, a café or something.

"Oh, this dog!" Alex reacted quickly, and he asked the bodyguard to buy something to feed it.

Leaving a bodyguard to watch over the dog, they found a café next to it and sat down. It was a café that looked quite fanciful, and the waiter wanted to stop him when he saw people like Dugarry and Jennis. Fortunately, Alex and a few bodyguards followed, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to get in.

After sitting down, they each ordered a drink and took a few sips.

Alex asked straight to the point: "You are outsiders, right?" ”

Dugarry and Janis hurriedly introduced their identities, and Alex made up an identity, of course, he can't reveal his true identity at will. Now it's a disguised trip, and if someone accidentally finds out, it may really attract other people's onlookers.

"Actually, I'm looking for potential singers for the company right now, and I find your performances to be very good. Especially Giannis, you sing so well. If you want to go down the path of singing, I can arrange an interview for you. ”

For Alex's statement, they had already prepared in their hearts. Dugarry and Jennis glanced at each other, and finally Dugari said, "I'm sorry, I only play the guitar, and singing is just a hobby, and I don't have any plans to make it a career yet." ”

Alex couldn't deny it, he looked at Giannis, "What about you?" ”

Jennis was at a loss, she hadn't thought she would go down the path of singing before she came to Houston. She has never planned to sing as a career in the future, she will sing on the street, just to buy tickets to make money.

"I, I don't know what to do!"

After Alex heard this, he didn't feel any surprise, and he didn't feel angry or anything. He smiled, and stopped asking the question, chatting with them casually for a while.

"Oh, so Dugari is a Dharma wanderer!"

The so-called Dharma wanderers are actually people who want to get rid of social shackles and roam everywhere. This kind of person seeks spiritual fulfillment, not material enrichment. They want to know themselves and the world through wandering, and they are idealists.

"Ha Luha, yes! I'm a person who gets bored of staying in the same place for a long time, so it's unlikely that I'm going to sing and become famous. ”

"So you're here to see a concert in Houston?"

"Well, I've seen the concert. It's a pity that Janis and Neuer don't have it yet, and now they can't buy tickets. ”

Hearing this, Jennis's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she seemed to be a little unwilling to do so. Although you can follow Alex to the next city, you will definitely be able to buy a ticket at that time, but I just feel a little lost in my heart.

Alex looked at Jennis's expression, thought for a moment, and beckoned to the bodyguard.

One of the bodyguards immediately ran over, leaned down to listen to Alex's orders, and quickly left the café. After a while, he returned, placing the two tickets in front of Dugarry and Janis.

"I have these two tickets in my hand, you like Alex's concert so much, then I'll give it to you."

Dugarry and Janis both looked at Alex in surprise, they didn't expect to get such a valuable gift just by one side. Nowadays, there are still many people in the whole city of Houston who have not been able to buy concert tickets, and tickets on the market are almost impossible to buy. Even if you can buy it, it will be a sky-high price, and the two tickets are estimated to cost about $1,000 combined.

"This, this ......"

"Don't be embarrassed, take it. I have something to do today, so I'll go first. ”

Alex left with his bodyguard, and before leaving, he left a business card for Janis to call the person on the card when she was sure that she wanted to go the path of singing.

What he left behind was Diel's phone number, and as for whether Janis called Dill or not, he didn't care. Anyway, the opportunity has been given, whether he can seize it, or whether he wants to seize it, is not something he has to consider.

The last concert in Houston ended perfectly, and Alex and his friends packed their bags and prepared to head to the next city. He knew that there might be an ugly-looking girl in the audience who would cheer for him, but as for whether the two of them would meet again, it was unclear. He didn't take it to heart at all, just regarded it as a small episode in his life.

For Jennis, the meeting was a turning point in her life. Later, after she met Alex, she realized that the person who gave her the concert ticket was her idol, and she suddenly felt that it was too coincidental.
